Alabaster Lady Lyrics

Artist: Carole King
Album: Speeding Time

Alabaster LadyI have always wanted to be a girl like youLong of leg and seeing the world the way you doBut you're in tiny golden chainsSomehow I think you know it don't make sense for youTo let your wings be held by someoneWho's too intense for you

Alabaster LadyYou are such a sweet and sensual spiritThere's a joy within him singingAnd he loves you 'cause he knows that you can hear itStill the child within remainsAnd though he knows that you have pains to talk aboutHe sees your soul as you walk aboutAnd doesn't dare to let himself get near it

You're so very youngYour life is just beginningYour consciousness begunLike a sleepy child awakeningAs you reach out for meWith confidence still to comeCan you teach me to be freeOf my fear of being struck down by the pendulum

Alabaster LadyAs you weave a web of love with azure flowersThe early morning hoursBring to you the misty light of dawnAnd he, knowing you'll be gone, only triesTo hold you closer to himIf you only knew your powersYou could save himYou could save him by just saying,NO SIR to him

Come on, Alabaster LadyYou say that you love him--just be yourselfYou can save him if you try

Come on Alabaster LadyY'know just where you're goin'Keep on growin'And let yourself just fly
